got their money's worth
Why should the railroad company refund any money? The crash wasn't do to their negligence, was it?

surveillance video on the family's table

Reminds me of this time in Walmart. I was returning something when I saw a woman and her daughters laughing about a box that fell off of the shelves and ALMOST hit the lady (I saw the box fall). The next thing I know the lady is on the floor screaming bloody murder because a box fell off of the rack and hit her in the head (which it didn't). I called the manager over and told him he really needs to check the store surveillance cameras.

with his own speargun
I didn't think Aussie's needed spearguns. Maybe I've watched too many croc hunter episodes but I thought Aussie's just jumped on the back of whatever they wanted and wrestled it into submission.
